ProfitBricks’ own network stack can dynamically assign the address to any VM in the network and provides the industry’s first implementation of high availability functionality – the same as can be configured in on-premise data centers. ProfitBricks’ dynamic routing provides maximum reliability of the virtual infrastructure, which is different from standard networks where the IPv4 address is assigned to a specific virtual machine.

By offering variable instance sizes, which now tip the scales at 62 cores and 240GB of RAM, ProfitBricks continues to define Cloud Computing 2.0. ProfitBricks customers can now run massive computational processes at a lower cost while taking advantage of better speed and performance. It also enables users of databases and big data software to scale their virtual servers vertically rather than horizontally.

The investment comes as ProfitBricks accelerates the pace of change in cloud computing. In 2012 the company established its U.S. headquarters in Cambridge, Mass. and launched its cloud 2.0 offering, including live vertical scaling and the industry's first Data Center Design tool. ProfitBricks used InfiniBand based network technology to bring high performance computing capabilities to the cloud and offer a better price-performance ratio than the major cloud computing providers. ProfitBricks also introduced the first true minute-based billing to the cloud.

The ProfitBricks Referral Program is aimed at developers, IT consultants, system integrators, independent software vendors and even well-connected technology influencers looking for recurring revenue streams from a next-generation cloud provider.

“ProfitBricks’ Foundation program is perfect for our startup – it’s more scalable, more flexible and the easiest to setup and maintain,” said USpin Founder Ethan Bagley, Boston Startup Weekend organizer and ProfitBricks customer. “The Data Center Designer allows our team to focus on our product and not on learning and implementing a string of acronyms and complex setup configurations.”

“Our network use spikes with payment cycles and during parts of the month when we are more research intensive,” said Richard Calmas, CEO, Neighborhood Pay Services. “The ability to scale processing power up and down with demand helps us build our data center around our business model, not around the technical limits of old servers, traditional data centers and month-to-month pricing policies. The added performance and reliability we receive are an unexpected bonus. We can now do more processing for less money, faster than we did with legacy cloud providers.”

MassChallenge companies have raised more than $260 million in funding and created 2,150 jobs in the last three years. ProfitBricks, in partnership with MassChallenge, will enable each company to receive new, second generation cloud services including virtual servers with almost double the performance of existing cloud providers, flexible minute-by-minute pricing that facilitates real-time scaling of compute resources, and dramatically more simple cloud deployment and management through a completely new Graphical User Interface, known as the Data Center Designer.

“We deconstructed cloud infrastructure down to its most basic elements and discovered there was a far better way to deliver the service,” said ProfitBricks’ Chief Executive Officer, Achim Weiss. “We ended up reinventing the architecture, which allows us to offer substantially better performance and a new level of flexibility in cloud infrastructure. Our platform allows ProfitBricks to offer unprecedented services at prices others cannot touch because of legacy design and built-in costs.”

Toll brings more than fifteen years of direct experience to the role. As the vice president of marketing at ProfitBricks, Toll will oversee the company’s North American marketing programs.

“Mellanox’s InfiniBand interconnect solutions offer unprecedented performance that enables us to achieve transmission speeds 8X faster than current Ethernet standards permit,” said Achim Weiss company founder and CEO of ProfitBricks. “The collaboration between Mellanox and ProfitBricks has resulted in a high-performance Cloud IaaS solution platform at a low cost on which service providers can utilize for large-scale virtualization initiatives and cloud deployments.”

“Cloud IaaS architectures are broken on many levels so our team set out to architect a new technology infrastructure that delivers on the full promise of cloud computing,” said ProfitBricks’ Chief Executive Officer, Achim Weiss. “Data Centers hosted in the cloud should be simple to design and build. They should scale on demand, be as flexible as on-premise infrastructure and they should be less expensive. The cloud should have more sophisticated metering and billing structures that support agile businesses with computing needs that expand at the speed of market demand. We decided it was time to break free of legacy cloud systems and start new. Now is the time to build the future of cloud architecture.”

ProfitBricks‘ IaaS solution has taken two years to develop. “During this time, we have been working at full capacity on a system that will set new standards in the field of hosting. We have reached this goal“, explains company founder and ProfitBricks CEO Achim Weiss, whose name has stood for creative ideas and solutions for many years. Under his management, for example, the hosting infrastructure of Schlund+Partner, which became 1&1, the video on-demand platform from Maxdome and the mailing systems for GMX and web.de were created. “However, one of my most exciting projects has been the implementation of the ProfitBricks technology“, says Weiss.

ProfitBricks was founded by former 1&1 Management Board members Andreas Gauger and Achim Weiss, two "hosting veterans" with over 15 years' experience in the telecommunications and webhosting sector. The company's objective is to develop innovative, powerful cloud applications and complex cloud-server infrastructures and thus high-performance, so-called infrastructure-as-a-service solutions (IaaS). The target group comprises developers and internet providers who will be able to create and operate their own products and applications for customers based on the ProfitBricks solutions. The products of ProfitBricks are currently being developed and designed from scratch by a top developer team led by former 1&1 CTO Achim Weiss and are expected to be ready in spring 2011.

The new hosting company ProfitBricks is starting up in Berlin. Their offer - "Infrastructure-as-a-Service" (IaaS) - is based on innovative ideas and technologies. Interested parties can currently apply to become beta testers, and will receive a starting credit of €500 for their participation, which they can use later in productive operation. The ProfitBricks founders and managing directors are two veterans from the hosting sector, Achim Weiss and Andreas Gauger. Both members of the dual-headed management team are ex-Board members of 1&1 Internet AG.

With ProfitBricks, developers can access the well-established REST API. Using this API, cloud computing developers and operations professionals can automate their multi-cloud IaaS processes by utilizing such popular current libraries as jclouds, Libcloud, Fog, and Python SDKs - which are all supported libraries at ProfitBricks.

These APIs assist you in leveraging the rich features and options offered by ProfitBricks. Even the ProfitBricks Data Center Designer, our integrated graphic user interface was built with the API.
